frequently asked questions

why should I trust the grief recovery method to help me?

For nearly 40 years the Grief Recovery Method has helped people all over the world move beyond bereavement, divorce and other losses. As a result of the work of over 10,000 Grief Recovery Specialists our programmes have received many thousands of thank you notes, reviews, testimonials and feedback surveys speaking of the huge difference this structured, heart-led approach has made. 

YEs, but what scientific evidence is there that it really works?

In Spring of 2019 the Grief Recovery Method reached a new milestone when the peer reviewed American Journal of Health Education (Volume 50, Issue 2) published research carried out by Dr Rachael D. Nolan and Dr Jeffery S. Hallam of Kent State University (Ohio, USA) which confirmed that the Grief Recovery Method made a "measurable, positive impact on the grief journey of the participant." 

 According to their findings, “The GRM programme is an evidence-informed, practice-based program that has been shown to effectively influence components of grief and grief recovery.” 

The studies indicate that the eight-session directed approach used in Grief Recovery Method Support Groups is effective in dealing with the symptoms of grief no matter what the type of loss.
